Maeve Binchy fans, pay attention: Darcie Chan is your stateside resolution. Chan's portrait of compact-town life in Vermont evokes the lovable, quirky characters of _Circle of Close friends_ or _Tara Road_, but with a style and spirit all her own.
The reader settles into the ebb and flow of life in Chan's Mill River easily, even as the author toggles amongst past events and the present. Though Chan moves the story along skillfully, the greatest strength of _The Mill River Recluse_ is its characters. Chan's neighborhood citizens (both past and present) are lovingly drawn and promptly recognizable. As the plot unfolds, you come to know and know her heroes (villains, too) in a most natural way.
A feel-very good story that by no means turns saccharine, _The Mill River Recluse_ will not disappoint. Indeed, as the last paragraphs close, the reader desires nothing alot more than just to devote a handful of alot more pages in Chan's Mill River.

As stated, I reside in Rutland, Vt. only 3-4 miles from Mill River (in Clarendon, Vt.). Mrs. Chan was especially decent with her investigation of this area (as I know she has never been right here) -- the towns near Rutland, the Marble business and even the individuals had been spot on. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. She has the knack of not losing the storyline and keeping her characters true. This was a single of the finest 99 cents I have spent and am searching forward to additional of her function.
